    Qualifiers: Adjectives and Adverbs

    Comparative and Superlative Degree


    Very similar to English, Dutch in general adds -er to the basic form for the comparative
    degree, and -st is added for the superlative degree; but 'meer'   ('more') and meest   ('most')
    are less common in Dutch than in English. But for you, students, it's alright to more often
    use 'meer' and 'meest' while you're learning.
    A very small number of adjectives can be used as nouns, and some of those have a superlative
    degree: de armen   2 3 ('the poor') - de armsten   2 3 ('the poorest people') - de
    allerarmsten   2 ('the poorest of the poor.') Of course, de armen are also the body parts
    between hands and shoulders

    Man, Animals, The Mind and Body

    In Dutch, the definite article 'the' is either 'de'   or 'het'   (often shortened to " 't "  )
    The indefinite article 'a' is: een   - or for emphasis: één   'one'
    (E) (F) - words from English and French - not following Dutch pronunciation rules
    Man, Animals, The Mind and Body

    In Dutch, the definite article 'the' is either 'de'   (for 'male' and 'female' words, and for all
    plurals) or 'het'   (for singular, 'neutral' words) - often shortened to " 't " 
    The majority of words are 'de'-words. Dimunitives (ending in '-je') are always 'neutral,' but
    otherwise you'll just have to memorize which are the 'de'- and 'het'-words.
    The indefinite article 'a' is: 'een' (also written as: " 'n ")   - or for emphasis: 'één'   'one'
    de the de man the man een, 'n a, an één one
    het the de vrouw the woman  -
    't the het kind the child take 2
